Creating the SD card in Linux
Like OS X, Linux includes everything you need out of the box:
1. Insert the SD card into your computer's SD card reader.
2. Using the terminal of your system, find the name of your SD card by typing
sudo
fdisk -l
.
3. If required, you can unmount your SD card by typing
umount <disk>
(which
will be listed from the earlier command ,
IE/dev/disk2
).
4. Copy the OS image on your hard drive to the SD card by typing
dd if=/path/
to/os/image.img of=<disk>
.
Now that you have created your Raspberry Pi SD card, it's time to set up our device!
